CONTEXT COMPLEX: Understanding Context As A Method Of Understanding

Cloud Cost Optimization

CONTEXT IS IMPORTANT IN UNDERSTANDING A LOT OF THINGS, BUT HOW DO WE UNDERSTAND CONTEXT ITSELF?

Nick and Jason talk about the importance of context in understanding cloud management and consumption. They discuss how context allows you to apply specific business data to your review of cloud spend or utilization. Without context, data can be viewed in a generic way that may not be helpful to your specific business needs. Learn more in this latest episode of Cloud Cost Optimization.

WORDS TO OPTIMIZE YOUR DAY

JASON: Initial thoughts on what context is

“I think, to probably make it as short as possible, it's to apply the things that are specific to my business to the data that I'm reviewing. In the cloud, it's typically spend, utilization, or optimization, based on maybe products or business groups or teams, which could be many different things. So it's viewing that data within the context that matters to me and not some generic way.

NICK: Context is very important in trying to solve a problem

“I have a bunch of alert noise in my slack channel or in my support system, what do I do with it? And we hear this one all the time, providing context around why the alert was actually generated, and what sorts of issues exist in the environment that could lead to it is really critical for an engineer trying to solve the problem.”
